Do you nurse everytime?

Should I be nursing Katy everytime she wakes up at night? She doesn't cry, just wiggles and wiggles (all the while kicking and slapping me in the face ). I've been nursing her each time b/c I figure it's good for my supply. I think my supply suffered with Ally b/c she was sleeping 8pm-7am VERY early on and I've never had to face this before.

Re: Do you nurse everytime?

If you want you could probably try to settle her by just patting her back or cuddling. If it doesn't work (and it never worked for us), then no harm in nursing. I'd just do whatever works to get you both the most sleep. If it ain't broke...

Re: Do you nurse everytime?

lucas wakes up twice in the night normally and both times for feeds, around 1 am and 4 am, can set my clock by him, during the day he is all over the place but at night those are his 2 times he feeds, so on the odd occasion he wakes up at a different time, i tend to rub his belly and he back to sleep in seconds and calm again..

Re: Do you nurse everytime?

Mine won't go to sleep without nursing...we're trying to break him of that, because I DO want him to start sleeping through the night at some point and I'd like him to learn to put himself back to sleep if he does wake up. *sigh* it's not going so well. It's about 1:15 am and my hubby's still in there trying to get him down.
